Original Note:
The First Amendment only applies with government action against speech, not actions taken by private institutions such as Twitter for violating their TOS. https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-1/ https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/interpretation/amendment-i/interps/266. The First Amendment is not all-encompassing; for example, speech that involves "true threats" is not protected: https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/interpretation/amendment-i/interps/266 https://www.justsecurity.org/74217/incitement-to-violence-aint-free-speech/ https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/970/incitement-to-imminent-lawless-action
